that's a pretty ridiculous assumption. He's had a week or 2 to prepare for the most important set of games in his life. I can't imagine why he wouldn't practice and prepare enough when he's already done so much this season. He lost, he got outplayed, he couldn't control his mindset. Don't make excuses

Whoa, I just woke up to check the results. Wasn't expecting this kind of result.
Massive congratulations to fantasy. He finally gets a well-deserved gold.
Really hope this doesn't put Stork into a permanent slump, though. Poor guy.

Fantasy was twitching pretty hard in his booth, I bet if his games didn't go according to plan he'd have similarly fallen apart.
Luckily for him, all of them did. YEAAAAAAAAAAH FANTASY
myboy~~~
(and possibly oov for possibly engineering the specificity of his builds of destruction)

Oh Stork, a millionth silver...
|
So when is there going to be another Protoss gold?
|
holy macaroni. stork and fantasy can have a rematch tomorrow, but at a less important stage though :\
|

wow, the result is just i expected but not 3:0. Because internet not doing well, I cant watch live OSL final. and when I open this thread, Fantasy won??? Congratulation Fantasy :D

I feel happy for Fantasy, he's worked hard to get the gold for some time now. But really poor Stork though, but this is the harsh reality.
|
Maaan I missed this, and just wow at 3-0! Can't remember last time someone got beaten like that!

Its not so much he didn't prepare enough but prepared incorrectly.
Stork is a player who will play exactly the same in proleague and individual leagues. He doesn't choke, that's completely incorrect because he doesn't make stupid decisions or throw games like Fantasy did against Jaedong a few times. He just never plays any better or different, his two 3-0 losses against the terran duo were mostly due to the build order choices.
That's not being unable to control your mindset or choking, that's just a player who doesn't comprehend what you can do (more like what you have to do) to win the finals. Its not the first time he's lost this way before and its amazing he hasn't picked up on it.

Wow that was unexpected. Congrats to Fantasy though!

AKA double-SL-fail-man. T_T Though among others that I had mentioned, yes, he kind of stands among their line

this final left me very dissapointed

Stork what in the fuck? Did you really expect fantasy not to have builds ready to counter your reaver-> greedy expo -> carrier play? Come on man, wtf. It's like you forgot everything you learned in your OSL gold run. That bo5 you brought out 2 gate proxy cheeses, dt/reaver harass rape, etc etc, all kinds of funky builds. This time it's like you just came out and expected them to give you the trophy. Just terrible.

It seems like Khan house is doing jack shit to help Stork prepare. Most likely because none of them have a clue how to innovate at the high level of OOV. January certainly isn't schooling Stork up on PvT, she's too busy looking forward to hanging out with her family/husband all the time. Just look at her interview. She was like uhhhh I wish we knew how to help the guy, anyhow it's good I get to see my fam!
SKT1 is just flat out a better coached team. Khan doesn't seem to do shit. January still hasn't been able to get Jangbi out of his slump and as excitingly novel as TurN is, he's no OSL champion. Who else is left? Odin? It's just a joke who Stork has to practice with compared to Fanta, especially considering Fanta locked up Flash.
Stork lost this due to arrogance, lack of preparation, and imo, probably the gf. He's a pretty emo guy and losing a looong term gf like that is devastating. Having a favorable map pool probably made him think he could just eke this one out on mechanics.
